Ain't No Feeling Like Being Free

Fri, 07/24/2015 - 16:31 -- shayxcw

We were all born with freedom.

So, why do you want mine?

You say you're going to take it?

I'd like to see you try.

Is it because it's awesome?

That must be why.

 

What makes my freedom different from yours?

Well, that's a simple question.

My ancestors fought for my freedom.

While yours were the cause of their oppression.

Are you mad at me because my ancestory is something to be proud of?

Well, my friend, can I give you a suggestion?

 

I know for a fact you've never experienced true freedom.

I also know you're thinking now "How could this be?"

The hatred in your heart cages your freedom.

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you lived happily?

With love, there is no hatred. With no hatred, there is happiness. With happiness, there is freedom.

And let me tell you, my friend, ain't no feeling like being free.
